The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.
I answered yes to this but it wasn't as confident as my yes to the Life poll. Not entirely sure why. I can't name another terran besides maybe Innovation that can can have that title.
There's ton of high level players we've yet to see play HotS. While I do think Life is the best player atm, there's no way of knowing if maybe DongRaeGu, Symbol or Losira is better at the moment. Same goes for the other races ofc.

If a widow shoots a ground unit, splash shouldn't hit air, and viceversa. Otherwise I wouldn't touch it, it's good for the game.
I'm largely ok with terrans new toys. I think they might get some small statistical adjustments at most, but for all the complaints about ferrarivacs and widow mines they're so exciting to watch. Even Idra likes it.
But I agree with his comment. Other races need more fun toys. Viper and MShipCore are great new additions imo. SH so-so. Tempest eh. Oracles jury is out.
Overall: HotS is already looking heaps more exciting than WoL. Hopefully it doesn't standardise. That was what made WoL become so-so at the end.

Psionic Storm and Fungal do that
It's different because those abilities aren't targetted, which is the basics of an AoE spell in any game, thus your example is wrong. A correct comparison would be if tanks could splash damage into air, which would really be retarded.
What's with HSM? I'm not entirely sure, but don't they hit air and ground at the same time as well?
Yes I think it does as well, which is also weird IMO, but since HSM is less prevalent it hasn't been really relevant.
